November 14, 2009 at 02:59How to search correctly?
Preliminary disclaimer. Perhaps the invented bicycle is described below and everyone knows everything for a long time. And do not philosophize slyly here. But I did not read anything sane on this topic, so I started thinking.
As part of his new course, I teach people how to search the Web. At first, the Pechishchevsky course (low bow to the author) was of great help in explaining the principles of PS operation. He talked about the structure of the PS, about queries and keywords, various Yandex and Google services, their advanced search and search operators, about Nigma and Quintura. But this is a theory. And then the question arose: how to teach people to search on the Internet in practice?
I remind you of the situation. There is a teaching staff of the school studying the Internet - people are very different (by age, views, experience and attitude to I-no). Everything is needed clearly, consistently and clearly. To tell them “learn in a year” will not work, you need understandable training, because the audience itself, the concept of the technique is not alien :-))
The answer "it comes with experience" is not suitable, since unreflected knowledge is magic, not science. The answer “formulate the request correctly” is beautiful, but also from the field of shamanism, because it is impossible to explain what is “right”. The idea came from here - to try to formulate some principles (“rules” would be too presumptuous), starting from which it would become easier to search on the Web. Formulated. Even based on these rules, he made Search Games (search training) and sent it to people through forms in Google Docs.
There was the first part - simpler, the second - more difficult. He took and reformulated something with Yandex.Cuba , something with the ChGK ( "Move the gyrus" ), he invented something. The questions are.
First one.
1.1. How many seconds after the start did the first explosion occur on the Challenger spaceship?
1.2. What does the Latin name for sorrel mean?
1.3. How tall is the monument to Chizhik-Pyzhik?
1.4. Who was the first in the history of the prize to become a Nobel laureate in literature?
1.5. The author of the line "in the living room are talking aunts about Michelangelo Buonarotti"?
1.6. The company "White Star Line" in the early twentieth century owned something very very expensive. But trouble happened and the company lost IT. Today they don’t remember the company itself, but the name of this LOSS is familiar to every student. What is this loss?
1.7. Children's story. There is a protagonist in it, if his name is literally translated into Russian, you get the “Pine Eye”. Name the hero (heroine) and the author of the tale.
1.8. Who was the historical prototype of the death of Achilles in Akunin’s novel?
1.9. Francois Rabelais first published his works under the pseudonym Alcofribas Nazier. He did not invent this name - he received it. How? (the correct answer is one word)
1.10. What day of the week did the Battle of the Ice happen?
The second one.
2.1. Now we use these items for a different purpose, but when they appeared, they were indicators of wealth and nobility. Many considered them an inadmissible luxury. The French king Francis I had 13,600 of them. What is it about?
2.2. How many cars can I park at the Auchan store in Omsk?
2.3. On this day, the Russian composer and chemist, the author of “A Hundred Days Before the Order,” and the film actress, who in 1988 was called the Soviet sex symbol, were born. What is this day and indicate the years of birth of these three people.
2.4. Who owns the words “Work relieves us of three great evils: boredom, vice, need”? Find 2 more sayings of this author.
2.5. Why L. Tolstoy was not awarded the Nobel Prize. Give a quote from the Nobel Committee.
2.6. There are Voisins du Zero, Tiers du Cylindre and two Orphelins on this item. And what is between 26 and 32 on it?
2.7. What was the name of the sky god in the myths of the ancient Sumerians?
2.8. How much does a baseball ball weigh?
2.9. How to say goodbye in Buryat?
2.10. If I left the house at 84 Lunacharsky Ave., then which nearest hypermarket "OK" should I go to? Please enter an address.
2.11. How many episodes were in the television series "My Second Mom"?
2.12. The Strugatsky brothers wrote the novel “Rats”, but in the final version they changed the name, taking a quote from a poem by a famous poet. What was the poet’s name and what was the poem called?
2.13. Continue the phrase: The first is a pilot device, the second is recording material, the third is typography, and the fourth is explosive. But together they are four great ones ...
2.14. Mount Olympus is only on Earth?
2.15. In the museum-apartment of Pushkin in St. Petersburg, among other items of the poet, there are 3 canes. One of them was especially dear to Pushkin, because, according to family belief, she had a special knob. What is this feature?
And now, after a long introduction, the promised “bike”: search principles.
1. Highlighting key, immutable words. Highlight the most important in the task. For example, in question 2.1 it is “Francis” and “13600”, in question 1.6 it is “White Star Line”. That which is constantly and cannot be reformulated.
2. Translation into other languages Example 1.2. or 1.7 It is necessary to search in the first case for the Latin name in the dictionary (although it is also possible through the directory of medicinal plants - there will be Latin), in the second - in different languages the words “pine” and “eyes” in order to combine them later.
3. Reformulation in the search infinitive. Under "and." this refers to the initial request form, which is more specific. For example, at 2.9 “say goodbye” should be transferred to “Goodbye” and look for the Buryat-Russian phrasebook.
4. Quote This is the simplest. Just drive in and see who the author is. As in questions 1.5 or 2.4
5. Busting out of a small amount is a quantitative hit. Maybe not the most successful example, but 1.10. You can enter “Monday Ice Battle”, “Tuesday Ice Battle”, etc. On "Saturday" we get the maximum, i.e. on which version there are qualitatively more results - that is true. It is clear that the “forehead” option is very relatively accurate, and it can be more elegant, but interesting for the typology.
6. Search for a specific site.Question 2.2 or 2.10. It must be assumed that these stores SHOULD have their own site. And then it's easier.
8. What does it look like? The situation when in text form or you can not find anything, or it is easier to see how it looks. Question 2.6 They understood what it was about, then through Yandex.Pictures or Google.Images they found, saw and answered.
9. Where is it? In a sense, the continuation of the previous question. Again, example 2.10. Find the address on the map, find the list of stores, and map.
10. Other values. Question 2.14. Option: open on Wikipedia and pay attention to “This term has other meanings, see ....” at the top of the page. Or the second, third value according to the encyclopedia.

Probably (and most likely) I missed something, forgot. But the problem, I think, is interesting: to formalize the cognitive search processes for learning. You don’t think about it if you yourself have been looking for many years and everything is formulated on the fly. And with beginners what to answer the question: "How to search correctly"?
